PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect is to amend the existing rule to interpret and implement section 655.0323, F.S.

SUMMARY:

The amendments interpret “a customer” or “prospective customer” to include any person for whom a financial institution has denied service or a business relationship; interpret “score” or “social credit score” to include any consideration of prohibited factors rather than limiting such factors to an actual numerical scoring; clarify complaint processing procedures; and provide the interpretation that a financial institution bears the burden of showing any service denial was due to suspicious activity, if such grounds are claimed.
